ATTENTION TOWNSPEOPLE! Considering All Points Of View Is Now Biased. And Probably Racist.

I’ve long since determined that people don’t go to college to actually learn anything anymore. They go to be indoctrinated and cry in their safe spaces and delay joining the real adult world. And this isn’t always coming from the students’ immaturity – this is facilitated by university officials, administrations, and their idiotic policies.

Case in point.

According to that sourcelink, two professors at the University of Northern Colorado are being investigated by the school’s Bias Response Team (which, as we’ve seen from other institutions, is just a fancy term for “Speech Police”) for imposing their incredibly biased beliefs onto students?

Their crime? Encouraging students to consider all points of view in a debate.

You mean there were professors who were ACTUALLY instructing students on critical thinking skills and expecting them not to believe every bit of information spoonfed to them by the collective? THE HORROR!

One of the professors in question directed students to the article “The Coddling of the American Mind,” published by The Atlantic last fall (it’s a great read – I recommend it). The professor was attempting to prepare his students for encountering opposing viewpoints on several hot-button issues, including transgender issues. But rather than get the point that – “Hey, people aren’t always going to agree with you on these things. Here’s how to respond in a mature and thoughtful way,” some whiny crybully filed a report against the professor for DARING to suggest that not everyone in the world agrees with this special snowflake 100% of the time.

The bias report filed against the professor claimed that he was trying to suggest that transgenderism might not actually be a case of being born in the wrong body and one student took offense to that (and here we see an easily offended moron in his natural habitat of Completely Missing The Point). Here’s what happened when the professor was questioned by the Speech Police –

The Bias Response Team contacted the professor, who responded that he was simply playing devil’s advocate to encourage a discussion amongst his students. University administrators encouraged him to avoid doing so:

A member of the Bias Response Team met with the professor, the report says, and “advised him not to revisit transgender issues in his classroom if possible to avoid the students expressed concerns.” The Bias Response Team also “told him to avoid stating opinions (his or theirs) on the topic as he had previously when working from the Atlantic article.”

So… you can’t even ask tough questions in a controlled setting to prepare students for the inevitability of facing those same tough questions, but in a setting far less controlled and (dare I say?) safe setting that they’re going to come up against outside a college classroom? ‘Cause like it or not, Special Snowflakes, there’s no Bias Response Team waiting in real life to punish your bosses, co-workers, family, friends, random strangers, etc. who will ALL at one point or another say things that you don’t agree with or even like. You won’t be able to cry and scream and shout that they’re invading your safe space and they have to pay for their sins. The most you could do is whine about it on Tumblr.

The other professor highlighted in the article was accused of assigning students to take positions on gay rights issues that they probably didn’t agree with in real life and debate those issues in class. Which is a teaching exercise that’s been used in high school AND college since Time Immemorial. The idea is that if you understand the opposition’s points well enough to debate them, you can present your own side better.

But nope. Actually researching the other side’s POV was just too triggering for these wilting flowers and they freaked out and sent the PC dogs after this professor as well –

“Specifically there were two topics of debate that triggered them and personally felt like an attack on their identity (GodHatesFags.com: is this harmful? Is this acceptable? Is this Christianity? And Gay Marriage: should it be legal? Is homosexuality immoral as Christians suggest?)”

The student, whose name is redacted and who is referred to as “they” in the report, complained that “other students are required to watch the in-class debate and hear both arguments presented.”

“I do not believe that students should be required to listen to their own rights and personhood debated,” the student wrote. “[This professor] should remove these topics from the list of debate topics. Debating the personhood of an entire minority demographic should not be a classroom exercise, as the classroom should not be an actively hostile space for people with underprivileged identities.”

I’m sorry – I can’t take a complaint that uses the term “personhood” seriously. Kid, keep this crap up and you are in for an extremely difficult life. And you’ll have no one to blame but yourself (your professor is certainly trying to help make things easier for you).

Keep an eye out for more idiotic accusations like this. I’m certain we haven’t heard the last of this stupidity.
